Prediction markets in Canada
Of the 23 platforms we review, 3 are open to residents of Canada, 8 with restrictions and 8 exclude them. For 4 the published terms do not say either way.
Securities and gaming are regulated by the provinces. Ontario is the province most often named as restricted in platform terms; availability elsewhere in Canada depends on each platform’s own list.
Each line reports what the platform’s own terms say, with the source we read and when. It is not legal advice, and a platform can still refuse an individual account. Last checked 26 Sept 2026.
